will set every running Notepad process to the Idle priority, for instance (see MSDN for the numbers to use to set other priorities). Wmic process where name="notepad.exe" call setpriority 64 Or maybe you'd prefer to optimise your system by setting your process CPU priorities? WMIC can handle that, too. (Though again, beware, programs closed in this way probably won't prompt you to save files you're working on, so use the command carelessly and data may be lost.) would do the trick, closing every instance immediately. Wmic process where name="iexplore.exe" call terminate So if you want to shut down all Internet Explorer windows, for instance, then the command: WMIC can, say, also close all the instances of a particular program. (Which is convenient, but also risky as there probably will be no chance to cancel your action, so use this with extreme care.) and your specified program will be uninstalled automatically, without you even seeing the uninstall program. Wmic product where name="windows live writer" call uninstall Then enter the name as it appears in that list, in a second command, like this: and look for the name of the program you'd like to remove. Use the appropriate CALL command and it can also carry out a variety of useful maintenance tasks.ĭo you regularly have to uninstall and reinstall particular programs, for instance? Doing this manually via Control Panel is tedious, but WMIC can automatically uninstall many applications with a single command. To see how, enter: WMIC isn't just about reporting on system information, though. If you have PC problems a few months later you can then look back at this record and see what's changed. and WMIC will create a formatted HTML page detailing your running services (replace "C:\folder" with an appropriate path for your system). Wmic service get /format:hform > c:\folder\services.html Obviously these details can be found elsewhere, but one advantage of WMIC is that it can save its output for reference later.
Will list your installed software, services, running processes and Windows startup programs, for instance. The program can also provide details on many other aspects of your system. Or maybe you're wondering if your BIOS needs an update. How old is it, anyway? Restart your PC and one of the boot-time messages might give you a date, but again it's easier to enter something like:
and WMIC will then give you the answer right away.
